Abstract:
... The oxidation resistance is pivotal to TiC/hastelloy composites applied for high-temperature structural components. In this paper, the effect of Ta on oxidation resistance of TiC/hastelloy composites was investigated. Composites with different Ta contents were prepared by reactive infiltration method, and the oxidation test was held at 800 °C for 100 h in air. The result indicates that as Ta conte ...

Abstract:
... Our previous work revealed the protective effect of Qiliqiangxin (QLQX) on cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to investigate whether QLQX exerts its protective effect against high-concentration angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced CMEC apoptosis through the autophagy machinery. CMECs were cultured in high-concentration Ang II (1 μM) m ...

Epidemiological studies have shown that exposure to DBP is closely related to a series of congenital and acquired defects in the male reproductive system. The oxidative stress injury caused by DBP plays an important role in these defects. Previous studies have demonstrated tha ...

Despite their protective role, mangrove ecosystems have experienced continuous degradation over the last decades due to human causes. At retreating mangrove coastlines, bamboo structures are built to create new habitat for mangrove colonization. Existing structures have experienced mixed rates of success due to th ...

The response to invading pathogens such as viruses is orchestrated by pattern recognition receptor (PRR) and unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling, which intersects and converges in the activation of proinflammatory pathways and the release of cytokines and chemokines that harness the immune system in the attempt to clear microbial infection. Despite this protective intent, the inflammatory re ...

Individuals of migratory species may be more likely to become infected by parasites because they cross different regions along their route, thereby being exposed to a wider range of parasites during their annual cycle. Conversely, migration may have a protective effect since migratory behaviour allows hosts to escape environments presenting a high risk of infection. Haemosporidians are one of the ...
